.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fIgit\-nav\-upstream\fR takes the current branch, finds it\*(Aqs upstream branch, and checks that out\&.

\fB$ git nav\-upstream\fR
Switched to branch \*(Aqcool_feature\*(Aq
Your branch is ahead of \*(Aqorigin/main\*(Aq by 4 commits\&.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

\fB$ git map\-branches\fR
origin/main
\fB  cool_feature *
\fR    subfeature
  fixit
    frozen_branch

\fB$ git nav\-upstream\fR
Note: switching to \*(Aqorigin/main\*(Aq\&.

You are in \*(Aqdetached HEAD\*(Aq state\&. You can look around, make experimental  \fB(1)\fR
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch\&.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using \-c with the switch command\&. Example:

  git switch \-c <new\-branch\-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch \-

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice\&.detachedHead to false

HEAD is now at beec6f4 Make ReflectorImpl use mailboxes
